Martin Samuel: The plot to shackle City & Chelsea

They're too late. They can't stop City anymore, we'll very close to do the job (some results in CL won't be half bad though) and they certainly can't stop Chelsea anymore, Chelsea had done their job, they are huge club and part of the elite that produces money.

What I can't understand is that Chelsea backed UEFA FFP but is not backing this one.

Not really about us and Chelsea anymore,this would literally kill domestic football within a decade. It will just be another big step towards a European league and that's when I pack it in altogether.

Same as us then.

This really is a bit of top journalism from Martin Samuel! Makes my blood boil however!

However, in terms of the implications of these findings, what could this lead to? Anybody like Prestwich Blue have a full idea of it's implications?
It's too late probably. From next year, with hopefully a better run in the CL and the new TV and Nike deals, plus we'll have cleared out the last of the deadwood and player amortisation will start to fall significantly, we should be home and dry. There are also probably other commercial deals in the pipeline too.

Our ship has sailed and we aren't heading back to port anytime soon.

Even if we were English football's biggest financial juggernaut I'd be staunchly opposed to these corrupt protectionist rules. They're like some evil cartoon villain stealing dreams from kids.

I'm not sure how it would kill it tbh, but it would stop another City and Chelsea to come to the big scene. Though UEFA is supposed to do that too but I guess they don't believe UEFA is able to do it "properly".

It's a damage limitation, they know Chelsea is inside already and City went too long to be stopped so they want to secure themselves at least on current positions.

Agree with that, I'm not really sure what kind of opinion City will have on this in 10 years though. Money and interests talk, it's bizarre that Chelsea backed UEFA's one but they did.

Anyway, I should be off from this thread, my blood boils when FFP is mentioned.
 
Re: The plot to shackle City & Chelsea

I am not even bothered by this to be honest. Of course I like us spending hundreds on millions on star players and winning league. But we got amazing owner who is in there for long term. I am trusting him to find sponsors, build amazing academy that will hopefully produce talented players, Etihad campus and all that etc. They can only slow us down, not stop us on our way to world dominance *evil laugh*

FFS what's up with you mancs ? Your as same as the chavs no class. Arsenal have had all there success and trophy winning exploits done by hard work and running a football club like it should be properly run. Spending what we have made through the turnstiles which is why we were able to fund our own 60,000 stadium.
Could you of done that noooo. Could you of won one poultry little title and fa cup without a sugar daddy nooooo.
We have been doing this for decades and the sour grapes come from your side of the fence because like the chavs you cannot buy history, you can try but forever in our shadows you will be.

Have we ever had a decent Arsenal fan on here ? We've got rags, spurs, toon, stoke, Chelsea, Everton and Oldham fans who all post away happily. They fight their corner but they never get out of order, but every gooner we've ever had has been a ****. A club full of arse faced twats who's collective whine can be heard all the way up here. Fuck off Arsenal!

This gill really is a piece of work, this guy should not be anywhere near football, this week is the 150th anniversary of the fa someone should get up during the speeches and show the letter to the lot of them, he is a disgrace to football also the clubs that allow the go ahead will regret the day they ever let this to happen.
